@silicon3, These CFT's get jettisoned as per the requirement, the same as the centerline ones do so that is not the problem. In Peacetime these CFT's usually return home but during combat they get jettisoned so that the AoA etc arent hampered! The problem is that a CFT option for Tejas has to...

It's a good way to go because it has set the 4th Generation LCA benchmark and adopting good ideas from the Numero Uno is a wise thing !

The important points in the article are as under: 1) The first IN 414 will start getting delivered to India by Sept '15 as per GE and how the ball is in ADA/HAL's court 2) GE/ADA both have issued statements saying that the size of 414 is similar to the 404 ... So junk the claims by eggsperts...

First Tejas Mark II engine to arrive in September Monday, July 06, 2015 By : Business Standard The plan to develop a more powerful, modernised version of the current Tejas fighter is getting a welcome boost. In September, US engine-maker General Electric (GE) plans to deliver the first...

I am of the opinion that Designing should be kept separate from Production... I would be happiest if DRDO etc are given the role of JUST doing R&D where as private players are given manufacturing. This will ensure not only better quality but higher outputs and a Mill Tech Industrial growth...

@ Kunal very good post! Second thing I noticed is the post mentioned 17 + 24 - 404 Engines now is this is final inventory ordered coz its way too short of the requirement to power the LSP's + SP's. Hope this is nt the reason for delay in delivering the SP's !! Any clarifications is welcome :)

What really gets my geese is how some of the naysayers behave when somebody (especially a new comer) posts something with even a little bit of appreciation for Tejas. One learned gentleman here acts like a old hag of a woman going through menopause dishing out expletives in tonnes on any poor...

Tejas handled like a dream....but that is only for private conversation!! ;)

Wait and watch....the Modi Govt is going to take some interesting decisions which will have far reaching effects!! ;)

Another food for thought!! As and when the LCA Tejas Mk 2 comes along..... as stated by IAF that Mk 2 is what the IAF ASQR required from the "beginning" Let me tell you well in advance that TEJAS MK 2 WILL BE ANYTHING BUT A LIGHT COMBAT AIRCRAFT !! So please change the denomination of Tejas...
